Mini treasures has had a Flickr group for some weeks and now there's an account in YouTube as well. If you create dollhouse/miniature videos or if you are following them in YouTube, send me an invitation. :)

Collecting is addicting and many of us collect miniatures as well. Collectables is a new page in wiki for collecting collectables :). I'm collecting Re-ments and I have some Reutters as well but what kind of miniatures are you collecting? Tell! Or even better - show and tell :).

Some of us are collecting miniatures while others like to do everything by themselves. And the majority of us do both. So it was about the time to start a page for instructions: DIY . What is your favorite technique? Do you modify your miniatures, create them out of trash, do you sew, crochet or saw? Tell me!

Have you noticed that there are more and more pictures in the wiki? There is already 12 members in the Flickr group Mini treasures but you can do a favor and invite more members :). From the group pool it is very easy to pick the appropriate sized pictures for the page so I keep adding pictures in the future as well (and of course you can do the same). If you want to see the details of some picture move your mouse over the picture so see who has took it and if you click the picture you will end up to Flickr where you can get a closer look at the picture as well as leave comments. :)

The social media pages are often organized by tags, you can see tags in e.g. Blogger blogs or Flickr photos. The same feature is also available in PBworks and I just added the first tags there - for scales. By clicking scales you can see all pages with scales tag.

Take advantage of this feature and add the tags you like so that it will be easier for you to navigate in the page.

I established a group for Mini treasures in Flickr. If you have an account there, join the group and add pictures of your mini treasures to the the common album. Some of the pictures in the group will be used for decorating the wiki pages.

I have been very careful with pictures - the one who has taken the photo owns the rights and nobody should use pictures from web without the approval of the originator. There's one exception: Creative Commons licensed pictures in Flickr. Do you know if there are same kind of licenses in other systems too?

Video copyrights were a mystery for me so far but I got advice from a forum guru and he told that it is safe you use embedded YouTube videos in forums so I started to add them to the wiki.

Museums - list of dollhouse museums all over the world (looks quite empty still but I know you can help in filling it)Scales - a placeholder of the different scales used by dollhouse people. The sub pages are quite empty still, please contribute to your favorite scale page. :)Wiki FAQ - do you have questions related to wiki usage? Add a question to this page.

PS. There are already 13 editors in the wiki, as many as followers in this blog. Are you the next one?
